Purpose

Welcome to Antoinette's Trianon! This site is devoted to Marie Antoinette. She loved her Trianon at Versailles. It was her place to escape from a world of strict etiquette and vicious politics. There she could be herself. I intend to try and use this blog to portray Marie Antoinette as a real person, not as a snobby queen who fictitiously told her subject to "eat cake" when they had no bread. Rather, I will post relevant news, discuss books, and hopefully scratch the surface of this fascinating woman smeared by history.

"An Adventure"


I remember reading this story when I was young, and recently ran across it again. The story is set in 1901. Two English women on vacation are visiting Versailles. Once they reach the Petit Trianon they find themselves in a strange and unfamiliar world...perhaps even coming face to face with Marie Antoinette herself!

Here at Museum of Hoaxes, I found a copy of the story online so others can read. Now I am not saying I believe or disbelieve the story, I just find it extremely interesting.
